Remains of Priest's house, now walls, sections of which form a garage (not included). Circa 1300, incorporated into a garage early-mid C20. Knapped flint, Caen stone dressings. Plan: a 10m length of wall, about 4m high, with a parallel length of wall to the N of lesser extent, garage between at W end. The southern wall facing onto the churchyard has the remains of a trefoil-headed lancet window at first floor level, and remains of a square-headed opening below to the E. The western end of the wall obscured by ivy at time of survey (May 1989) and generally in poor condition. A number of medieval buildings stood in the vicinity of the churchyard and were swept away during the C18. (Horsfield T W: A History of Sussex: 1827-).
